That's my YaYa!

 You're right - because he was the 18th President, not the 17th. Andrew Johnson was the 17th. What a stupid error for a published book. Where are the editors?

 And.....my new tweezers and nail polish remover is gone again..... I'll go around hairy with jacked polish but I bet I know two teen girls who will have perfect arches and manicures. Ugh..... Frustrated. - Lisa

Nocturnal Animals starring Amy Adams

 Dark in content and at times difficult to watch, I'd still recommend this story of revenge and loss.

The Edge of Seventeen

 A semi-sweet coming of age movie

 Yeahhhhh, if all the chit-chat could stop among my classmates that would be super swell. This ain't MPS kiddies. I'd like to actually hear what's being said in class.

 We got word today that Junie will not be going to College for Kids; completely my fault, as I missed a scheduled payment reminder. Earlier in the year the other three kids were denied b/c their desired classes were full. This, on top of the YMCA Camp denying Smiley a slot b/c they were full by Feb; Camp Silverbrook being off the table for the girls; and the Rec division canceling classes. It's shaping up to be the least-full summer of our parenting career.

Paths of Glory

Rewatching Kirk Douglas and Adolphe Menjou star in this 1957 masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick. It is superb.

Meeting Mayor Barrett

Met the mayor. - YaYa 

Well, Lisa and I were supposed to be taking a painting class every Monday, starting tonight, but the Rec Division has cancelled it. This sucks.

My Blankie

After I picked up some Doctor Who fleece -- heavy on the 11th Doctor, but with some nods to the past -- Lisa was kind enough to make me a tie blanket.  Any imperfections are the result of my help. :)

 The gift that keeps on giving! Dale C. one of the most recent inductees, Sapphire. A pretty blue Betta, freed from his solitude (so happens Bettas are not happiest alone), who'd have known! - Lisa

 Whenever I drop something and stoop to pick it up I half expect to hear the sharp whine of an assassin's bullet passing overhead. Having my life spared by random chance would then begin a heroic quest I'm woefully unqualified to handle and yet, somehow, in the end I triumph. #TrueStory

 Junie and Angelcakes napping this afternoon.

 

 Yesterday, in addition to oversleeping my first class and being pulled over by the cops, I came home to find a bottle of siracha sauce left out. Annoyed, I grabbed the full bottle and my Neanderthal strength caused it to shoot directly into my eye. It was, I imagine, like being sprayed in the face with pepper spray.

LuLu's 1st Date

 I just drove LuLu to her first date, a showing of the Power Rangers movie. I've met the boy and like him, and I'm proud to see my little girl take a step toward adulthood.

 Just got back from Marquette, where I was all but called a thief by not one but three office workers who couldn't find records of a past transaction and wanted me to pay again. I stood my ground, called out the office manager for implying I was lying, and lo and behold the paperwork was found and i was proven right. It's tiring to live in a world where your options are to roll over or go full as$hole.

Today the GOP canceled a vote on a bill to repeal Obamacare, because they couldn't get enough Republican's to sign on. It's a pathetic performance by Ryan. The draining of the swamp needs to extend to the cuckold "leaders" on the Hill. DC changes NOW or this nation is finished.

Watching Mannix. S3/E10 Joe is temporarily blinded by a gunshot!

Congratulations to Team USA!

Congrats on a great and deserved championship for Team USA! I'm a fan of the WBC, and have enjoyed watching it. There are lots of haters out there bashing it as a pointless exhibition, but that just tells me they never watched the tourney, because it's some dang fine baseball!

 New phones suck.... I'm too old for this shit, lol - Lisa

World Baseball Classic

Congrats on a great and deserved championship for Team USA! I'm a fan of the WBC, and have enjoyed watching it. There are lots of haters out there bashing it as a pointless exhibition, but that just tells me they never watched the tourney, because it's some damn fine baseball!

Before you hit "share" and give undue praise to the New York billionaires who have asked their state to raise taxes on the wealthy, think it through: their income is inherited and/or from investment streams, and thus not within the scope of the increase they propose. It's an empty plea that impacts only other people's wallets. How very noble of them.
